Letchworth Garden City's £8m Street Scene Improvement works are progressing so well, it is hoped that the scheme will be finished early, in April rather than May 2010.

Following discussions with retailers and the Town Centre Partnership the ‘break’ for the Christmas trading period has been shortened by about two weeks. Works will stop around 16 November and re-start 4 January 2010. During the shutdown both Eastcheap and Leys Avenue will be open to traffic.

At a time when The Comet is running its admirable ‘Buy Local’ campaign, which the Foundation supports, I am disappointed that Louise McEvoy chooses to speculate that Letchworth residents who wish to retain the four trees in Leys Square might boycott local shops.

Dear Sir

I think it is disgraceful that the Heritage Foundation’s Director General Stuart Kenny should be singled out for attack through graffiti and in the columns of your newspaper.

On 3 October 2007 Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation submitted Planning Applications to North Hertfordshire District Council in respect of the proposed redevelopment of The Wynd and environmental improvements to the Street Scene.

Further information about the application can be viewed on this website, including illustrations and key documents from the planning application submission.
